Kyrie Irving’s return to his old stomping grounds turned out to be a costly one.

On Thursday, it was announced that Irving has been fined $25,000 for “directing obscene languague” toward the crowd during the Nets’ loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. Irving played his first six NBA seasons in Cleveland, and helped deliver a championship in 2016.

Video of the incident (which includes profanity) is available to watch here on Twitter. Several fans can be heard saying things to Irving while a Cavaliers player was shooting free-throws. Although it’s difficult to tell what caused Irving to respond, he can be heard saying “got y’all a championship, [expletive] still ungrateful.”
